The great cultivators who stood at the very top of the Central Continent stared blankly at what was happening before them.
Great Cultivator Cui of the Boundless Sect, that arrogant, powerful, and brutal Peak Great Cultivator, had been beaten senseless by Li Yuanba in that brief span just now.
Yes, beaten senseless. It was an extremely fitting description.
Applied to other great cultivators, the term was not accurate, because very few great cultivators engaged in close combat.
But look at Li Yuanba. Not only had the Golden Corpse Late Stage attacked in close combat, even Li Yuanba's own attacks had been close combat as well.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Great Cultivator Cui had misjudged the battle and fallen into a disadvantage from the very start.
"Come back!" Li Yuanba ordered in a deep voice.
The Golden Corpse Late Stage's figure flashed and broke away from the battle. Even if Great Cultivator Cui wanted to keep the Golden Corpse Late Stage behind and recover some face for himself, the defense of that armor-clad Golden Corpse Late Stage was not something he could break through in a short time.
Besides, with the Golden Corpse Late Stage's speed, when it wanted to retreat, Great Cultivator Cui could not stop it even if he tried.
Li Yuanba looked at Great Cultivator Cui's tattered robes, and much of the anger Great Cultivator Cui had provoked in him faded.
"Li Yuanba!" Great Cultivator Cui glared hatefully at Li Yuanba, wanting to utter some threatening words, but when he thought of Li Yuanba's temper, he only said Li Yuanba's name and made no further move.
"Fellow Daoist Cui, how have you regressed the longer you've lived? Since Li Yuanba can stand here, he has naturally received our acknowledgment. Insulting him is insulting us!"
